Aieee! While everyone’s been distracted by the evil terror mosque looming over Ground Zero, the Moorish Horde™ has already infiltrated an even more sacred and venerable institution: the logo of the 2012 Republican National Convention Host Committee.
We’re doomed. All aboard. Next stop sharia law.

There's a minaret there (part of a hotel) and people are wondering why it is in the logo?
What in the wild wild world of sports is a-going on here.

Isn't the minaret supposed to be higher than the other buildings? Does this indicate that Tampa Bay is not yet a 'conquered city'?

Yeah, get rid of the palm tree.
Americans have, I dunno, oaks or something in their states.
(Some years ago, a good friend declined a chance to go work in what sounded like an enormously politically iffy situation at a mine in Colombia. While they implored her to come fix up their computers so they could better oppress their workers and avoid being killed off by the revolutionaries, they told her that Colombia was nothing like what she'd seen on TV. "Why, we even have palm trees!")

The funny thing is they should actually be grateful for that onion dome and use it as part of display of how the GOP is open to those of many faiths. Sadly, that can't happen right now because it's just not true. Too many on the right want a "christian party", which also happens to be exactly what the Founders didnot want.
